Stoffa Eyeing a No Tax Hike Budget in 2014

Stoffa at Ann Achatz retirement last year

During his Executive Report to Council last night, John Stoffa went over some things he'd like to do before his term in office is over. Last, but certainly not least among taxpayers, is a 2014 Budget that contains no tax hike.

Aside from the half mill tax hike for open space that he actually promised to give voters before they elected him, Stoffa has somehow muddled through 8 years in office without ever imposing a tax hike. Along the way, he's been attacked at one time or another by just about everyone, even his allies. Well, he's obviously been doing something right. I don't think he knows what the hell it is, so don't ask.

I think it's magic.
